Dude, it's UCSB, ...sorry but I'm an alum. I'll defer to to GC on this one, but there is a Tennis Club of Santa Barbara that you could google for info. There's also a good muni tennis at Pershing Park and I had some friends who went up to Solvang (30 miles north) and took lessons at Alisal Guest Ranch.

Greetings nyc, I'm back from Kauai. Always good to hear about tennis players visiting my area. What level do you and your wife play? maybe we could have a hit.

The previous replies are helpful. The best instruction you can get around here would be with Mark Basham or Adam Webster at Tennis Club of Santa Barbara (TCSB). Also can get a very good lesson with Hugh Stratman at Cathedral Oaks Athletic Club. The city pro is good too, Vaughn Hitchcock, although maybe not at the level of the others, but maybe slightly better than Walt Seeman at Alisal. However, a trip to Alisal for some tennis followed by wine tasting (as in the Sideways movie) would be top notch.

If you don't have any luck with those options, let me known and i can do a little more digging. Enjoy!!
